Albion Inn

Walk up Bangor High Street and you'll find the Albion doing what it does best: being a proper pub. The kind of place where regulars have their spot at the bar, where you can get a decent pint and actually hear yourself think, which is rarer than you'd imagine these days. You're looking at a traditional setup—solid wood, worn-in comfort, the sort of atmosphere that builds naturally over decades rather than being designed by committee. Food-wise, they keep it honest: nothing trying too hard, just straightforward pub fare that pairs well with a cold drink. The 4.6 rating tells you people genuinely rate what's happening here, not because it's fashionable, but because it consistently delivers. It's the kind of local that makes Bangor feel like a proper place rather than just somewhere you pass through.
